Overview
CloudLinux OS is a Linux distribution built for shared hosting. Its LVE (Lightweight Virtual Environment) technology caps the CPU, memory, I/O and process count available to each hosting account, so a single busy or misbehaving site cannot degrade the whole server. CageFS isolates each user's file system view, and the Alt-PHP stack lets accounts choose from many PHP versions independently.
Features
LVE resource isolation
Per-account limits on CPU, memory, I/O, and entry processes prevent one site from consuming the server.
CageFS
Gives each user an isolated file system view, hiding other accounts and sensitive server files.
PHP Selector
Lets each account select its own PHP version and extension set without affecting other accounts.
MySQL Governor
Monitors and throttles database usage per account to prevent slow queries from stalling the server.
HardenedPHP
Security patches for older PHP branches that no longer receive upstream support.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to reinstall my server to use CloudLinux?
No. CloudLinux converts a supported existing installation in place. A full backup is still strongly recommended before conversion.
Does CloudLinux work with cPanel?
Yes. CloudLinux integrates with cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin, and exposes LVE limits inside the control panel interface.
